g UNITED STA-TESv PATENT OFFICE f j 2,009,848 Y Y Y Y COAL BAGGING MACHINE Beniamin w. neuen, New orleans, La. Application December 27, 1932,`Serial No. 649,040v 1 claim. Y (o1. 226-55) This invention relates to baggingv machines especiallyadapted for iillingl sacks and like containers with coal or other materials and has for the primary object, the provision of a device of the above stated characterwhereby a series of sacks may be supported andhave delivered therein material and subjected to motion tocause settling ofthe material in the sacks to assure complete filling of the sacks rand'which operation may be easily and quickly carried out and whereby a large amount of material vmay be sacked in a comparatively short time.-

With these and other objects in view this invention consists in certain novel features of construction, l combination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.r I Y For a complete understanding of my invention,

reference is to be had tothe following description and accompanying drawings, inwhich Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view illustrating a bagging machine constructed in accordance with my invention.

Figure. 2 is a fragmentary top plan view partly in section illustrating means for supporting sacks or like containers.

Figure 3 is a perspective viewk illustrating a Referringin detail tothe drawings, the numeralvI indicates a supporting base having secured centrally thereof a mountingZ in which is located the lowerend of a vertically arranged non-rotatable-shaft 3. Journaled on the shaft and also rotatably mounted on the mounting 2 is a drive sleeve 4 having secured thereto a drive gear 5 adapted to be rotated by any suitable power medium. An annular shaped distributing chamber or receptacle-6 is secured to the upper end of the sleeve 4 with the upper portion of the shaft 3 extending centrally therethrough. The receptacle 6 includes an annular upstanding wall 'I and an inclined bottom wall`8, the inclination ofV whichV is towards the adjacent to the annular wall I and formed integrally with the walls of the openings are depending lling necks or hoppers Illr adapted toY and carried by the-upper end of the shaft 3 is a sweep or board I3 contacting with the bottom of the receptacle so that the material withannular wall and is provided with a series ofV spaced openings 9 is suitably secured to the base I and a portion thereof is provided witha series Yof steps 2.0 of substantially saw-tooth' shape so that during the travel of the rollers I8 about the track they will engage the steps and impart to the pedestals an Y up and` down motion, causing a shaking of the v sacks or containers,

bringing about the settling of the material therein.A The last-'step in the` series of stepsY is considerable deeper so `that when a roller engages therewith'its respective Vlli through which theV stems slide and which maintain the n pedestal'will be lowered-to anextent ofy disengaging the lsack orV container carried thereby from the neck or hopper I0 so that the operator may readily' remove the sack or container and as the respective pedestal progresses it rides upon the inclined face 2I, returning the pedestal from which the sack has been removed to a normal position so that another sack or ,container may `be placed 'thereon and in engagement Vwith the Vrespective neck or hopper.

Upwardly and outwardlyl extending braces Y22 are carried by the sleeve 4 and their outer'L ends are secured to vertical braces 23, the upper ends ofwhich are attached to the `receptacle Iwhiler` Y Y the lower ends are mountedv on vthe supporting t bars I4.

The supporting barsV I4 are provided with Ydepending legs 24 carrying rollers 25 whichtravel upon a track 26 mounted on the base I inwardly Vof the track I9. 1

While I have shown anddescribed the preferred embodiment of my invention,` itrwill'be understood that minor changes in construction, combinationand arrangement of parts may be made without departing from the scope of my invention, as claimed.

Having described the invention, I claim:

A bagging machine comprising a base, aY vertical shaft fixed to said base, a rotatable sleeve mounted on the shaft with the latter projecting` above said sleeve, afhopper secured to thesleeve spirit and y v1o n have journaled thereto-rollers A y' I8 which ride upon .the track I 9.V The track Ill.`v

sacks, a sweep xed to the shaft and engaging walls of the hopper to direct material into the necks during rotation of the hopper with said sleeve, supporting bars fixed to the sleeve below the hopper and extending radially from said sleeve, spaced annular members connect-ing said bars, guides carried by the annular members and disposed below and between the latter, stems slidable in the guides and located between the annular members, vrollers secured to said stems, plates carried by the stems and engaging the sacks, a notched track carried by the plates and having the rollers riding thereon, legs secured to said. bars inwardly of the annular members andthe stemsyrollers for said legs, and a second track carried by the base inwardly of the rst track and engaged by the rollers of said legs.
